PRAYER OF ST FRANCISLord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow peace; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, let me sow faith; where there is despair, let me give hope; where there is darkness, let me give light; where there is sadness, let me give joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not seek to be comforted, but to comfort; to be understood, but to understand; to be loved, but to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in forgiving that we are forgiven. And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
